Exactly! I refuse to buy anything else from these collections at Claire's because they are cashing in on Katy's name in all the wrong ways. Don't get me wrong, I know it's what businesses do these days but Claire's do a terrible job of it!

Yes! When I was younger, I always thought that Claire's stuff was cheap and cheerful but it has gone down hill since then and the prices have gone up It makes no sense to me. I love the design of some of their stuff, especially the Katy stuff BUT, just for example, ass the gems on my Unconditionally ring have fallen out already

I'm really sorry to read that the items are that bad! I kind of guessed the cheaply mass produced things could never really be worth their money, but what annoys me is that if the quality is actually below every expectation to this extent it gives Katy a bad name in connection with it, too. If that's how things are I can only wish her that she'll find a better company once the current contract ends.The books are the only items I bought, and it seems they're much better than the jewellery. I mean these:I really enjoy having those - they're beautiful and well made!

^I LOVE my notebooks too!! Completely in love with the Roar one,,, I don't want to use it

I haven't used mine either!!! Maybe I should have ordered 2 of each... one to use and one to keep

LOL! That's exactly what I did, in the shop they had two of each left and I bought them! I want to use one of the Roar, it's connected with my singing, so at least it figures. (Yes, I wouldn't just write shopping lists in them, haha!)

OMG!!!! The kitten collection!! (Is it really called Kitten? Meow sounds so much better...) How cute is it! Me thinks I'll be ordering a bit of that when it comes out! The Reflections collection isn't really me but it's nice

So I had orginally decided not to buy anything as none of it really seemed like something I'd wear and/or use, HOWEVER, I went to some stores today with my girlfriend and she mentioned that they have a Katy collection at claires, which I had known about but never seen. Went to our local one and walked right past it without realizing it, we had given up and were walking out and run right into it.

I bought the silver "Let the light in" triangle necklace. Love it and plan on wearing it everywhere, only problem is the clip is hard for me to do but I'll manage. Also bought the Roar phonecase. When I saw the photo online I thought my current case and some previous Katy cases were better, but when I saw it in person and saw that it was holographic I immediately grabbed it. Only problem I had with that was the jewels on the side. Was debating on popping them off, but I kinda like the feel of them when I hold my phone, having the bumps there.

Also I have now converted my girlfriend to Katy Perryism. She loved all of the jewelry there and ended up buying the unconditionally ring. Played the song for her when we left and she loves it. I left her in my van with it running and green day playing through my phone so I could go inside my house to grab something, I walk back out and she had changed it to Unconditionally XD. She is now one of us!

TBH. I was very excited for this stuff. Then it came.. and it looks lovely. But it's definitely expensive... and... many things are cheaply made. I splurged and paid a whopping $16 for a phone case (I aint got money for that, lol) and it immediately started either tarnishing or the silver/chrome finish rubbed right off.

I love sales and a good one was buy 2 get 1 free... and I still couldnt get myself to buy things from it. lol

Went to my local Claire's retail store last night, and all the KP jewelery pieces were on sale for $5.00. If you're here in the States, you might have to check out your local store to see if the same sale applies!
